The other problem is that I am now 75 years old. I can't do three long days of lighting, shooting, and working on a layout to produce a video any more. Each layout in the Great Layouts series took two to three days to shoot, and a few took even more.

Too bad you couldn't take some young pup under your wings and teach him the art so the tradition would continue. I'm 59, so maybe the DVD is a product of my generation and is dying. But, like PeterA said, the production quality doesn't seem to be there with You Tube videos. 15 minutes of Andy Warhol fame and they fade away.

Another thing that cannot be understated about these OGR DVDs, unlike movies, is the functional utility of grabbing ideas from them. How many times have we watched the Godfather part I and II? I bet my OGR DVDs blow away those counts and that's not to discount the legacy of Brando and Pacino and the rest of the cast.
